The Villanova University Formula SAE team is coming off its very first competition<br />
ever last year. The VU-01 finished in the top 20% of registered teams in the<br />
endurance/fuel economy event at FSAE <strong>Michigan</strong> finishing 62nd overall, a very<br />
impressive feat for a first year team. This year the team will be bringing the<br />
VU-02, a progression of the previous vehicle. The car is a much lighter and much<br />
faster version of its predecessor.<br />
The car features a completely new frame that is lighter and stiffer than last<br />
year’s car. The team has also redesigned all of the driver controls, uprights and<br />
suspension rockers, braking system, exhaust components, and wiring harness.<br />
These improvements will help to achieve the team’s goal of removing over 100lbs<br />
from the car compared to last year. The team is also going to have more time<br />
to tune the car, and optimize suspension set-ups for all of the dynamic events.<br />
The goal is to improve upon the overall finishing position by competing in all the<br />
events, finishing in the top 30 teams overall.<br />

ARG10 is Cornell University’s entry in the <strong>2010</strong> Formula SAE <strong>Michigan</strong><br />
competition. The design of ARG10 takes into account all aspects of the<br />
competition and represents Cornell’s vision of what tradeoffs must be made in an<br />
FSAE racecar. Components are not designed individually, but rather with the entire<br />
system in mind. This ensures that all interactions and interfaces among parts<br />
and subsystems create the best performing package. In order to accomplish this,<br />
decisions were made using a points analysis system that included, but was not<br />
limited to factors of cost, weight, manufacturability, and reliability.<br />
